I have the sIFR module partially working. It shows the proper font, but it does not show the proper text. Instead it shows the font name followed by "generated by sIFRGeneratorcom".

Also the optional variables for the color etc. are not working--I thought they might once the rest was straightened out. Here is the code I included in my Page.php:

Sifr::replaceElement(".claritty", "claritty", 
            'sColor:"#ffffff",
            sBGColor:"#444444",
            sHoverColor:"#000000"'
            );
Sifr::loadSifr();

Thanks!!

I discovered part of my problem. I read an old forum post wrong that I thought said sIFR v0.2 module was ready for sIFR 3. I started using the trunk version of the module which supports sIFR3 and now I am able to control the style of the flash text better.

Now I have a different set of problems. Including a css element like below for the background doesn't work if you are aiming for a transparent background. I do not see a way to change the sWmode to transparent in this version of the module.

Sifr::add_font('claritty', 'themes/copper/fonts/claritty.swf');
Sifr::replace_element('claritty', '.claritty', "'.sIFR-root {color: #000000; background: transparent;}'"); //<--background is still white
Sifr::activate_sifr();

Also, instead of using my text it says, "Please update the Flash Movie verstion to". I used http://www.sifrgenerator.com/wizard.html to create my .swf file.

Thanks in advance!
